Welcome to Critico. We’ve tried to write these terms the way we’d actually explain them to you — plainly, without a wall of legalese. By using critico.art (the “site”), you’re agreeing to what’s below. If something here doesn’t sit right with you, that’s okay — just don’t use the site.
What Critico Does
Critico is a free tool that gives you composition feedback on artwork you upload. You drop in an image, and Critico returns a written critique along with visual tools — composition overlays (like the rule of thirds and the golden ratio) and a value-study view. That’s it. There are no accounts, no logins, and nothing to buy.
You Need the Rights to What You Upload
This is the important one. When you upload an image, you’re confirming that you own it or otherwise have the right to use it. Don’t upload artwork that isn’t yours, or images you don’t have permission to use. You’re responsible for what you submit, and you agree not to use Critico to infringe anyone else’s copyright or other rights.
What Critico’s Feedback Is (and Isn’t)
Critico’s critique is an automated, opinionated second look at your composition — a helpful starting point, not the final word. Art is subjective, and no tool (or person) is right about it every time. Treat the feedback as one perspective among many. Use what’s useful, ignore what isn’t, and trust your own eye.
Acceptable Use
Please use Critico for what it’s for. Don’t:
- Upload anything illegal, or content you don’t have the rights to.
- Upload images depicting minors in any unsafe or exploitative way, or any other illegal imagery.
- Try to break, overload, scrape, reverse-engineer, or abuse the site or the systems behind it.
- Use automated tools to hammer the service or get around its usage limits.
We want to keep Critico free and available, so there’s a limit on how many critiques you can run in a day. That limit keeps the costs sustainable; please don’t try to circumvent it.
The Site Is Provided “As Is”
We work to keep Critico running and useful, but we can’t promise it’ll always be available, error-free, or that the critique will suit every piece. The site is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows. We may change, pause, or discontinue features at any time.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Critico and its operator won’t be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site. Critico is a free creative tool; please use it in that spirit.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms as the site evolves. If we make a meaningful change, we’ll update the “Last updated” date above. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
